manxie49 Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 I've often seen people asking questions about which bike would be right for them, due to their size, height etc. Well, I came across this which may be of use to some. It isn't the be all and end all but it would give a bit of an idea when your wondering if your feet will touch the floor, or whether you'd be cramped up with your knees around your shoulders. http://cycle-ergo.com 1 Quote
Steve_M Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 I’ve posted that site a few times in reply to people asking for bike advice. I’ve found it very handy to early discount bikes that I’ve considered. Quote
bonio Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 Me too. It took me literally years of searching to find something to replace the GS. I used cycle-ergo a lot to rule out a number of bikes that looked interesting on paper. Quote
Stu Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 I ignore stuff like that as imo you really can't tell if a bike will be comfortable unless you sit on it and take it for a ride 2 Quote
bonio Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 True, but you can tell whether your toes are going to touch the ground or not. 3 Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Such things are for sensible people. Which rules out 90% of motorcyclists. 3 Quote
